“Nashville’s diverse lineup of artists is evidence of a commitment to our entire community to broaden the Music City brand and welcome a vast array of performers from all genres of music,” said Tim DuBois, the vice president and managing executive of ASCAP. “This city is a growing haven for culturally diverse musicians and the National Folk Festival stands to highlight this on a national stage.”

The festival is expected to draw 60-80,000 attendees over Labor Day weekend. For more information, visit www.nationalfolkfestival.com or call 615-891-4944.
